Continuing the series of Offshore, Nearshore and Offshore IT Outsourcing, we take a deep dive into Nearshore IT Outsourcing in this article. We mention 3 aspects: definition, advantages and disadvantages.
1. The definition of Nearshore IT Outsourcing
Nearshore IT outsourcing means assigning software-related tasks to a third-party partner based in a different country in the same time zone or within a few hours. For example, a digital marketing agency in Vietnam partnered with a Chinese software development firm.
2. The advantages of Nearshore IT Outsourcing
-
2 parties don't have to work extra or late at night.
-
Business travels are easier, more accessible, and more economical.
-
2 parties share the same or quite similar cultures.
-
Nearshore requires lower average salaries compared to onshore.
3. The disadvantages of Nearshore IT Outsourcing
-
You'll have fewer alternatives because you'll only be able to choose from suppliers in nearby nations.
-
A lack of management control and monitoring of the vendor's procedures can cost you a lot of time (and money).
-
There's a potential danger that trade secrets will be compromised.
-
Low-quality product delivery – this is frequently the consequence of a nearshore partner working on many projects at the same time.
-
Cost overruns are inevitable since each change made to the final product is charged separately.
